Our paper on single-cell genomic sequencing of the human gut microbiome is now published in Science! Congrats to all of the amazing authors that I am proud to work with: @zheng_wenshan @ejalm @peterjameslu @_e_evans @cdaili @animalkewls and David Weitz https://t.co/ocuxLDUNax

Excited to share our article presenting the @globalmicrobiom initiative and releasing our first batch of data and results! This work highlights how microbiomes acquire new functionality based on host lifestyle. @CellCellPress. . https://t.co/0I5QwB4Br3

For nearly a year, Biobot has been providing early warning of #COVID19 outbreaks by looking at sewage samples from communities across the country. https://t.co/Y6SFjgxQ2D

if i had the chance to do another postdoc in comp bio, this is the position i would apply for

delighted to share this work by @Shijie_Zhao and @zheng_wenshan single-cell droplet based genomics for the human microbiome. strain-resolved genomes and HGT networks are among the benefits of this amazing new technology from David Weitz’s lab

It's amazing to see our member @BiobotAnalytics named as @smartcitiesdive's Technology of the Year! Congratulations to @MarianaMatusG, @NewshaGhaeli, + team! https://t.co/od6b5cbk4M

We're highlighting 'most liked' Tweets from 2020. ICYMI: We love @gibbological's passion for the #microbiome and its influence on human health @isbsci: https://t.co/zAuVSqLpgx. Hear the full interview here:

The mystery of Dark Statistics has vexed statisticians for decades. It is hypothesized that as much as 95% of all statistics are dark statistics! These elusive statistics are invisible but we know they MUST exist due to their influence on the visible data.

did you know that the reason tattoos remain visible for so long is bc of MACROPHAGES? I thought it was bc the ink stained long-living fibroblasts, but no! dermal macrophages phagocytose the ink and store it in vacuoles, where it is still visible from the surface.

A great interview with @BiobotAnalytics

"Everyone has a voice in the sewer." Hear more from Biobot co-founders @MarianaMatusG & @NewshaGhaeli in their interview with @mlevram at @FortuneMPW's Next Gen Summit:

Yay! Congrats to #UCLA's on the SwabSeq EUA. Lots of hard work by a big team including @jonathan_flint1 @leonidkruglyak @ArboledaVal @JoshSBloom @ZarEskinCompMed @chongyuanluo @yeastyin et al.

How does #COVID19 wastewater epidemiology work? Check out this video from Biobot’s research collaborators @MIT for a great explanation. #BetterDataSmarterDecisions

Honored to have been selected as an NIH New Innovator, alongside an amazing group of scientists: https://t.co/Gnl8S2IN16. Did I mention we are looking to grow our team?

so excited to chat with @gibbological about sewage as a tool to improve public health! in the next 5-10 years, every major city will be using wastewater based epidemiology to improve lives. from covid19 to opioid addiction, the opportunities are endless in this emerging field!

In the coming days, it is likely that many people who interacted with Trump or his team this week will report having COVID. Anyone in this cluster should save specimens for sequencing-based epidemiology-- to better quantify the consequences of this administration's recklessness.

main source of joy is this guy who frantically guesses what color the paint is going to be

"Since it can identify both symptomatic and asymptomatic cases, the testing can predict if there will be a spike or decrease in the next 4-10 days." @AngelaKimWRCB reports on Biobot's work in Chattanooga, Tennessee:

Very happy to share with you this new study from our lab on bacterial translocation from the gut to neighboring adipose, and a fascinating tissue response to the presence of microbial “squatters”. @CellCellPress Happy to walk you through, in this thread: https://t.co/EYUid5U3Bv

On March 12, Biobot put out the call to action to use sewage to map #COVID19 outbreaks and provide real-time data for governments & communities to get ahead of the crisis. 6 months later, we've analyzed ~3,000 samples from over 400 locations in the US. #BetterDataSmarterDecisions
